	2004 MacArthur Fellows Announcement
		The MacArthur Fellows Program underscores the importance of the creative individual in society. Fellows are selected for their originality, creativity, and the potential to do more in the future. Candidates are nominated, evaluated, and selected through a rigorous and confidential process. No one may apply for the awards, nor are any interviews conducted.
		The MacArthur Fellows Program places no restrictions on how recipients may use the $500,000, and no reports are required. Just as there are no restrictions on how the Fellows may use their awards, there are no constraints on the kinds of creativity that are recognized.
		The MacArthur Fellows Program was the first major grantmaking initiative of the Foundation. The inaugural class of MacArthur Fellows was named in 1981. Including this year’s Fellows, 682 people, ranging in age from 18 to 82, have been named MacArthur Fellows since the inception of the program.

	General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)
		In 1915 MacArthur was promoted to major and the following year became the Army's first public relations officer, performing so well that he is largely credited with selling the American people on the Selective Service Act of 1917, as the country moved ever closer to joining the war in Europe.
		Although he antagonized many of the old guard, MacArthur made good on his mandate to drag the moribund Academy into the 20th century, enabling it to produce officers fit to lead the country in the type of modern war he had just experienced first hand.
		MacArthur, despite the able assistance of top aide Dwight Eisenhower, would not have enough time or money to build a force capable of resisting the Japanese.
